Important Albums

every now and then there is an album released that stands
the test of time and becomes the flagship to define a
certain genre/style of music, these album may not be the
artist's best albums, but more of a starting point to throw
at people, to get them into a certain genre, these are all
truly important albums that every self respecting music
listenener should own. I've tried to assemble a list of some
of these heavily influential albums that have forever marked
the face of music.

Radiohead - OK computer
RDJ - RDJ Album
Avalanches - Since I left you
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Björk - Homeogenic
Nine Inch Nails - Further Down The Spiral
Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation

what do you think are some of the most important albums of
the century, and how do you think they affected music
trends?

Cheers

Matt/Refund.

erm, I would disagree that these are some of the most
influencial albums ever. They aren't bad but there are
plenty of WAY more influencial albums than these. :p

It depends, every music scene has its preferred set of most
influencial albums. Although rather than albums I prefer
the look at influencial people/groups. From my point of
view, albums that have gained the most from I would have to
say are,

Prodigy - Experience
Wu Tang Clan - Enter The 36 Chambers
Dr Octogon
Mr Twin - ICBYD
Squarepusher - MIRON
Herbie Hancock (Anything)

but that is just me personally

Um... Beatles, man, Beatles!!!!!! Bob Dylan! Sure, some of
those you listed are good, but as for most important album
of the century, lets start with The Beatles!

Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds, Piper at the Gates...
there's lots of other ones.

Mainly for me, it's everything by the Beatles, Tommy and
Quadrophenia by The Who, Barrett and Madcap Laughs by Syd
Barrett, The Queen is Dead by the Smiths, and Pet Sounds by
The Beach Boys.

Ophecks: If you had to choose one, to recommend to someone
else, what would it be?

Maybe Abbey Road, but my fave is the White Album. Revolver
always tops the ''Best Albums Ever'' lists though, so it's a
toss-up. Better to just go and shoplift them all.

you should have just stole them as ophecks suggests. Half
of them are dead anyway.

I stole shit loads of stuff from HMV, it is really easy :D

Butcher

That's a crazy cover... wish they actually went through with
it. A handful actually got printed and sold... I'd sell my
soul to Satan for one of them, if I still had one.

Yeah they were selling one of those at Amoeba for some
awfully high price...I guess some of them had the trunk
cover placed on top of it?

pat metheny group - offramp
jaco pastorius - jaco pastorius
miles davis - bitches brew

however, i feel not totally qualified to say this, since i
was not alive (or in 1982 when offramp came out i was just 3
years old) when these albums came out.

and to say "album of the century" is kind of strange, seeing
as how they only started making albums in the past
century... dont you think?
